Southwestern Chocolate Cake

This is my version of a quick cake from my childhood. Use a mild oregano or marjoram instead of the hot, biting oreganos.

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vinegar (cider or white)
2/3 cups cooking oil
2 cups cold water

Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix thoroughly.

Pour into ungreased 9 x 12 baking pan and bake 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

Ice with your favorite chocolate icing.
